NBA Player Andre Drummond Teaches Nickelodeon Star Jagger Eaton How to Dunk (Exclusive Photos)
If you were wondering what NBA star Andre Drummond was doing in the offseason, Nickelodeon has the answer.
The Detroit Pistons center is a guest star on new Nick show “Jagger Eaton’s Mega Life,” which is set to premiere on Friday, Sept. 9, at 7:30 p.m.
Drummond joins 15-year-old skateboarding phenomenon Jagger Eaton as he gives kids a glimpse into the lives of fearless, world-class athletes in the action docu-series.
“It was a blast shooting with Jagger. Dunking isn’t easy, especially when you’re 5-foot-4, and Jagger nailed it. Little kid, big potential,” the 2016 NBA All-Star player told TheWrap after Jagger used slam-dunk champ Kenny Dobbs to hone his game.
